20th Anniversary Gift

Hope everyone had a great weekend. We sure did here! Lots of family and friend time. Love it! On Saturday we went to a 20th wedding Anniversary party. I wanted to get the couple something that was meaningful but did not break our bank. I looked up some information about gifts and decided to go with plants. The Aster celebrates 20 years of marriage so I really wanted to find it! I had never heard of this particular plant and that made me a little nervous. I went to a local plant nursery, Green and Growin'. They carried the plants. How lucky is that for ya? The first place I went to look. I picked up 3 small Asters. Next, I went to the Dollar Tree and got a small green basket, some yellow shredded paper and white ribbon. I brought everything home and put the basket together.

Very simple but I thought very sweet. I made the bow myself. Not too bad but need some practice.

I made a gift tag with scrapbook paper, pen, stamps, Popsicle stick and glue.

Even if you are on a budget, you can still be very creative when it comes to gift giving.
